Description

Motorola University’s Lean Six Sigma training combines lectures with simulation exercises to give participants the opportunity to follow a structured improvement methodology. Using the DMAIC* model, it teaches participants how to apply Lean principles and tools in conjunction with the Six Sigma rigor and methodology to achieve rapid and significant improvements with greater speed and reduced process variation.

Target Audience Target AudienceManagers, Project Leaders, Senior Engineers, Green Belt candidates and anyone who desires an understanding of Lean Six Sigma Principles and skills. No previous Six Sigma and Lean experience is required.

Goals

Upon completion, the participants will be able to:

• Simultaneously improve both quality and speed by combining Lean with Six Sigma.
• Understand the Lean Six Sigma methodology and improvement processes.
• Properly define, scope and work on Lean Six Sigma Projects.
• Construct a Value Stream Map and apply the map to identify improvement opportunity.
• Learn to recognize waste.
• Incorporate a comprehensive set of quality tools to problem solving.
• Implement quick improvements using a structured Kaizen event.
• Learn to mistake proof a process to reduce rework.
• Apply SPC and visual process management to monitor the process.
• Use MINITAB 14 to enhance analysis for process improvement projects.

Certification Process

The certification process for Green Belt training consists of three steps:

1. Complete the Green Belt Training.
2. Pass the Green Belt test.
3. Lead and successfully complete one Lean Green Belt Project. Project will be assessed for business impact (financial and / or “soft-dollar” impact) as well as Lean Six Sigma skill demonstration.

Define opportunity.

• Measure Performance
• Analyze Opportunity
• Improve performance.
• Control Performance.
